June 2008 NPD numbers

June 2008 NPD numbers

June's sales figures for the three home consoles in the US look like this, according to the NPD Group:

  • Wii - 666,000
  • PS3 - 405,500
  • Xbox 360 - 219,800

Once again, Wii comfortably outsells both the PS3 and 360 combined. Do I hear a lulz? These sales mean Nintendo Wii is now officially the best selling console in North America (of the current gen).

If only Wii had sold one less copy it wouldn't be 666.

Wow 666,000 in America? They probably got over a million sold in the world, nice job Nintendo. It's kind of odd ps3 is outselling xbox 360.

Look at the numbers! 666 for Wii in the 6th month. Looks like we are doomed (in case you don't know 666 is the number of the beast).

That's a disappointment. I was hoping Wii was at a million and PoS3 was behind Please Fix Me.

PS3s starting to pick up some speed. Xbox needs to lower its price to pick up with the competition. But I hear that sony stated that it will never actually make profit off of the ps3 no matter how well it does seeing as they've already spent quite a lot of money on marketing and such.

666? Wii is the spawn of Satan disguised to infiltrate the system.

Wow, Ps3, near 2x Xbox, and the Wii is the Devil, winning by 260,500. Go Wii.

This proves that even games like Metal Gear Solid 4 for PS3 and Ninja Gaiden 2 for X-Box 360 did nothing to help sell the competitor consoles at all. GTA IV had already failed to sell systems and since that no game had being successful enough to become a system seller than any on the Wii.

The number 6 is bad luck! But, uh, I guess it's bad luck for the 360 and PS3.

The best selling title on the Wii right now is the bundle game, Wii Sports! It is because of that game that the Wii is still selling like hotcakes to this day. Sony and Microsoft better start bundling a title or two for their PS3 or X-Box 360 because the Wii is taking all their money and legacy.
